Configure AC1750 as node on Linksys mesh network
I've recently set up a Linksys mesh network (AC2200 Velop), and I want to know if it's possible to use my Netgear AC1750 as a node on the network. I'd like to be able to use the USB connectivity on the Netgear. What would I need to do to configure the AC1750 to do this?
Thanks,
Harry

Re: Configure AC1750 as node on Linksys mesh network
1. AC1750 isn't a speed.
2. netgears plain routers aren't mesh and won't integrate with even their own mesh systems. Not likely they'll mesh with the linksys system.
3. You could connect it to your current setup and run it in AP (access point) mode but make sure it uses a different ssid and on a different wireless channel (to prevent interference). That'd give you a backup solution or even a different wireless to run IoT devices off (or whatever you prefer)

Probably intended to say:
"AC1750" is a speed, not a model number. Look for "Model" on the
product label. Firmware version?
